VMTAPE CATALOG Rule

Use the VMTAPE CATALOG rule to control who has access to the tape catalog entries in the CA VM:Tape Tape Management Catalog (TMC).

{ACCEPT | REJECT} requester VMTAPE CATALOG [volser] [("Options"]


Options:

[DAY dayname[‑dayname]]
[EXPIRE mm/dd/yy [hh:mm:ss]]
[GROUP]
[LOGPASS | NOPASS]
[TIME hhmm hhmm]

{ACCEPT | REJECT}: Accepts or rejects the CATALOG request controlled by this rule.
requester: Defines the set of requesting user IDs this rule is to govern. When specified without the GROUP option, requester is a user ID. Enter an asterisk (*) for requester to specify all user IDs. When specified with the GROUP option, requester is the name of a security group. Enter an * for requester to specify all user IDs in all security groups.
[volser]: The tape volume serial number of the TMC entry to which the rule applies. The default is an *, which specifies all TMC entries for tapes owned by users that are the target of the rules file that contains the VMTAPE CANCEL rule.
[LOGPASS]: Causes the system to prompt for and verify the requesting user ID logon password. Existing catalog passwords are not required by the user ID issuing the CATALOG command.
[NOPASS]: Specifies that password verification is bypassed. Existing catalog passwords are not required by the user ID issuing the CATALOG command. Specify NOPASS if you want this VMTAPE CATALOG rule to govern. If you want CA VM:Tape to do its own security checking, omit the NOPASS parameter.

Note: The DAY, EXPIRE, GROUP, and TIME options are explained in Common Rule Options.
